Congratulations to Julian Barnes!

Julian Barnes "The Sense Of An Ending" has won the 2011 Man Booker Prize! It was the fourth time that Barnes was on the Shortlist, and his first win - so I'm certain he's very chuffed, despite having in the past referred to the prize as a "posh bingo".

It sounds like a potentially depressing read, to me anyhow, but I'm sure it's beautiful. The chairwoman of the judges says it is:

So, Congratulations, Mr. Barnes! I look forward to reading your book - in about 11 months time!
